Rumors, News---Anything Sens!

Acccording to TSN and the Fan 590, Bryan Murray makes his first splash on the free agent market by signing forward Alexei Kovalev. Wow, I am really shocked. Then, I feel evil. In your face Hab fans! Murray will speak to the media at 4:30 PM ET. More to come include term and money.

UPDATE 4:00: It's a 2 year dealUPDATE 4:12: I'm hearing it's a deal worth $5 million/year. WowUPDATE 4:14: Yup, 2 year, $10 million deal. It looks like Heatley may be gone along with Picard or Smith. Or even Kelly. Must congrats Sens Chirp for first reporting it. I had been told the Sens might make a move today but I thought it would be Bertuzzi. More to come folks.

KJ: True, this might change his mind, as the Sens will be much more competitive this year. They still have to do quite a bit of movement on defense to get under the cap.

While this is good news, I'm a little sad that it now seems likely that none of our prospects will make the team this year :/ I always like to root for new kids, and each of Regin/Z.Smith/Bass (and maybe Zubov) have shown they can play in the NHL.
